Iris Adair's POV
"Bye Mum, I love you!" I yell out the window of the cab that was taking me to the airport.
"I love you too! Bye Iris!" She yelled back at me waving.
I waved one last time, before I sat down in the seat of the cab, and sighed. I was going to America, a whole ocean away from home. "But its only for three months.'' I thought to myself.
We arrived at the airport about twenty minutes later, the cabbie helped me carry my luggage into the airport. I thanked and paid him for helping me. Only twenty minutes later, the plane was off and we were on our way to America.
At sunset I looked out the window of the plane, the ocean turned orange like a fire but only calmer. My eyes began to droop, i was really tired. I zipped up my jacket and drifted off to sleep.
I was awoken by one of the flight attendants, " Twenty minutes till we land." she said.
"Thanks." I replied with a smile.
I sat up and looked out the window, it was dawn. I yawned and sat back for the rest of the flight.
We landed soon enough, I got my two suitcases and looked around the airport. I saw a couple they were holding a sign that read," Iris Adair"
The woman had medium length red hair, and light blue eyes, the man she was with had short brown hair and hazel eyes. I walked to them dragging my luggage behind me.
"Are you Iris Adair?" the woman asked.
"yes." I answered smiling.
"Well I'm Jennifer and this is Mike my husband, and we are your new guardians until you go back to London." the woman said.
"Pleasure to meet you." I said
"Well lets go to the bank and get your money converted into dollars." Mike said taking my heavy suitcase.
"Okay." I said following behind with my smaller suitcase.
two hours later at the bank...
"How much do you have?" the person behind the counter asked.
"Three-hundred pounds." I reply handing him the envelope.
"that will get you, four hundred seventy-five dollars, and fifty-six cents." he says handing me a bigger envelope.
"Thankyou." i say turning around and following Mike out the door.
"Now we need to go to your new school and set up your schedule for tomorrow, but we will have to wait an hour until the school opens." Mike said unlocking his car.
"Okay.'' I said getting in the passenger side, which was not on the left... "american cars." I thought to myself Sarcastically.
An hour later...
We pulled into the parking lot of a huge building, and parked in the visitors parking. We got out of the car and went into the building.
First we went into the office and paid my fees, then we went to the councilor's office to set my schedule.
We sat down in the councilor's office next to his desk.
" Aren't you the new student from London?" he asked.
"Yes." I replied
" so you need to set your schedule, right?" he asked
"Yeah." i said
"Okay," he said turning the computer screen towards me, " the highlighted classes are the ones you can take."
I scrolled down, and I saw a Medical Terminology course.
"How about that one?" i asked
"Yep, you can be in that one." he said clicking the box on the screen.
"do you have any music classes?' I asked
"Yes, we do. Do you play an instrament?" he asked me
"Yeah I play the cello." I replied
"We have an Orchestra course, you want to be in that?" he asks.
"Yeah, do you have a Chemistry class?" i ask
"Yes, do you want Chemistry 1 or 2?" he asks
"Umm... Chemistry 2 I like a challenge." I said
"Good, Challenging yourself is good." he said
about a half hour later...
Mike opened the door for me as we walked out of the councilor's office. I looked at my schedule; first period I had : Art
second: English 3C
third: Medical Terminology
Lunch
Fourth: Calculus
Fith: Chemistry 2
Sixth: Orchestra
A half an hour later...
Mike then took me to his house where Jennifer had prepared lunch, and put my luggage in my new room.
After lunch, Jennifer told me to relax for the rest of the day, so I went into my new room and unpacked my things, then I read a book till dinner time. After dinner I got dressed in my PJ's and went to bed.
The next morning...
After I woke up, I got dressed in some jeans and a black T-shirt, then packed my bag and got in the car to go to school.
Once I got to school, I walked in the door, I wasnt surprised to see everyone staring at me, afterall I was the new kid. I quickly found my locker, #627 and went to class.
Art went by quickly, as did English, I didnt meet anyone until I went into Medical Terminology.
The last five minutes of class, about an hour later...
"So you're from London right?" A voice asked me, it came from a girl with short brown hair and green eyes.
"Yeah." I replied as the bell rang.
"do you want to sit at my table at Lunch? she asked me.
"Sure." I replied.
so I sat with her and her friends at lunch I found out her name was Maggie, and she was the same age I was.
The bell rang to go to class at 12:20 I walked through the hall looking for my Calculus class, when I saw a big group of guys surrounding a corner. I got closer and looked at what they were surrounding. All I could see was a white button up shirt. The guys at the front of the pack were yelling, " Freak!" and "Loser", the rest of the group was just laughing. I got a better glance, it was a guy pushed in the corner, his head was down looking at the floor.
"Leave him alone!" I shouted.
All of the guys in the pack turned and looked at me, the guy in the corner looked up.
"You heard me. I said leave, him, alone." I stated again.
"Aww the freak got him self a girlfriend, and she's from London too." the packs leader stated, his whole group laughed. I just glared evily at him.
"Come on lets give them some private time." he said sarcastically, laughing as he led his pack down the hallway.
The guy in the corner stood up straight, he looked at me, his light blue eyes staring into mine. I felt my heart start to race as he stepped closer, his jet black curly hair bouncing every step he took. He had high cheek bones,that cast shadows on his cheeks when he walked under the light. He stopped about two feet away from me, looking around six feet tall I had to look up to see his face.
"Thank you." He said simply, he was english, like me.
His voice was deep, it made me shiver.
"You're... You're... welcome." I said stuttering, not being able to think straight.
He walked past me, I stood there frozen, but gradually turned around and followed him down the hallway.
I followed him into Calculus, and I sat by him at an empty table.
"I'm Iris Adair, what's your name?" I asked, waiting to hear his voice.
"Sherlock," he stated," Sherlock Holmes."
